Re: st: re: problem with generating eps

That's not documented in the online help for schemes, but probably is
in printed materials referenced therein...

Background color

In the table at the beginning of the entry, we characterize the
background color as
being white or black, although actually what we mean is light or
dark because some of
the schemes set background tinting. We mean that "white"
background schemes are
suitable for printing. Printers (both the mechanical ones and
the human ones) prefer
that you avoid dark backgrounds because of the large amounts of
ink required and the
corresponding problems with bleed-through. On the other hand,
dark backgrounds look
good on monitors.

In any case, you may change the background color of a scheme by
using the region_options
graphregion(fcolor()), graphregion(ifcolor()),
plotregion(fcolor()), and
plotregion(ifcolor()); see [G] region_options. When overriding
the background color,
choose light colors for schemes that naturally have white
backgrounds and dark colors
for regions that naturally have black backgrounds.

Schemes that naturally have a black background are by default
printed in monochrome.
See [G] set printcolor if you wish to override this.

If you are producing graphs for printing on white paper, we
suggest that you choose a
scheme with a naturally white background.

Austin Nichols helpfully suggested

graphregion(fcolor(white) lcolor(white))

I could swear I had tried that combination, but apparently not -- it
worked! Thanks, Austin.
